In an era of supersized foods and beverages designed for a single person, many people are turning to vintage themes of ‘ice cream for 2’ to impress a date or relive the days of their youth. A resurgence of interest in everything vintage has been the impetus for bringing back ice cream favorites that encourage sharing.

Ice cream for 2 used to be a standard feature in corner malt shops and soda fountains that were favorite hangouts for the high school crowd. Individuals would take their dates to the ice cream shop to be seen and share social time. Ice cream for 2 became a way to create a more intimate atmosphere between two people as well as make a declaration that they were a couple.

Served in large glasses, ice cream sodas hold the top place for vintage ice cream beverage that’s perfect for sharing. Made with ice cream and either carbonated water or soda – depending on which part of the country you’re in – simply add two straws and a couple has a tasty treat for date time fun.

Whether they’re called a ‘malted’ or a milkshake, they’re high on the list of old-time favorites for sharing. Served in a large glass, the thick, creamy creations melt slowly, making them an ideal treat for sharing over conversation. Technically speaking, a malted is made with malted milk powder that gives it a slightly nutty flavor while milkshakes contain soft ice cream or yogurt, but the lines have been significantly blurred between the two over the years.

Served in a fancy dish rather than a glass, ice cream sundaes offer multiple flavor combinations from which to choose and share. Covered in syrup, nuts, whipped cream and garnished with a cherry, the treat was created to circumvent Blue Laws that made it illegal to sell soda on Sunday, one of the prime ingredients in ice cream sodas.

Last but not least is the banana split, a favorite since its invention in 1904. It was considered a variation of the sundae and has since established itself as a stand-alone ice cream dessert. The banana split is covered in nuts, whipped cream, syrup and fruit likes its sundae cousin, but the addition of a split banana was a game changer. It was invented on a Sunday, but the spelling was changed to appease local church officials.

Today, vintage-style ice cream shops are springing up in unexpected places and featuring ice cream for 2 specialties that are reminiscent of a by-gone era. Many established ice cream shops are now offering special sizes and bringing back the unique ambiance of a soda shop. The ice cream parlors make a perfect option for a memorable date experience and they’re equally desirable for those that want to return to a cherished time from their teens.
